` Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Plan Approval

Dear Ms. Plackett:

The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has reviewed the combined Stormwater Management and Erosion & Sediment Control Plan received on December 15, 2017 in accordance with the Virginia Stormwater Management Act and attendant Regulations and the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Law and attendant Regulations. The combined Erosion and Sediment Control and Stormwater Management Plan dated November 3, 2017 with signed seal date of November 3, 2017 and “Erosion and Sediment Control & Stormwater Report” dated December 13, 2017 are hereby approved and a copy is enclosed. No changes may be made to the approved Plans without obtaining prior approval from DEQ. Additionally, approval of the ESC and SWM Plan does not relieve the operator of complying with all other federal, state, or local laws and regulations.

As provided by Rule 2A:2 of the Supreme Court of Virginia, you have thirty (30) days from the date you received this decision within which to appeal this decision by filing a notice of appeal in accordance with the Rules of the Supreme Court of Virginia with the Director, Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.

At your earliest convenience, please submit one digital copy (PDF preferred) of the approved Plan and accompanying specifications to DEQ at the following address:

It is the responsibility of the owner and/or operator to ensure that the project is constructed in accordance with the approved Plan and accompanying specifications. Upon completion of the project, the owner and/or operator will be required to submit a construction record drawing for all permanent stormwater management facilities (i.e., post-development best management practices) constructed in accordance with the approved Plan.

Prior to the commencement of construction, all land-disturbing activities equal to or greater than one acre, or less than one acre and part of a larger common plan of development or sale, must register for coverage under the General VPDES Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Construction Activities (VAR10). If not already submitted, a copy of the 2014 General Permit registration statement can be obtained from DEQ’s website at the following location:
